🎤 Performer
Widdershins is an adverb meaning counter-clockwise, anti-clockwise, or lefthandwise, or in a movement around an object by always keeping it on the left. Literally, it describes a course opposite the apparent motion of the sun viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. The earliest recorded use of the word, as cited by the Oxford English Dictionary, is in a 1513 translation of the Aeneid, where it is found in the phrase "Abaisit I wolx, and widdersyns start my hair." In this sense, "widdershins start my hair" means "my hair stood on end".
